Near Total Pharyngolaryngectomy and Reconstruction with Interpositional Tubed Pectoralis Major Myocutaneous Flap

Abstract

ABSTRACT Near total laryngectomy can be safely combined with partial or subtotal pharyngectomies when the disease is lateralized rendering the interarytenoid joint and the contralateral cricoarytenoid joint free of tumor. A case of post radiotherapy recurrent carcinoma of the posterior pharyngeal wall which could be salvaged by a circumferential pharyngectomy combined with a near total laryngectomy is reported with a discussion about its potential advantages.
